Hong Kong protesters beg Trump for help: 'Liberate' us
“The Next Revolution” host Steve Hilton gives his take to the ongoing Hong Kong protests.
As many as 100,000 people demonstrated outside the U.S. consulate in Hong Kong, waving American flags and begging President Trump to “liberate” them from Chinese rule.
"Resist Beijing, Liberate Hong Kong" and "Stand with Hong Kong, fight for freedom" were two of the chants repeated by demonstrators, many of them clad in black shirts and wearing masks.
Some posters read "President Trump, please liberate Hong Kong.”

"Hong Kong is at the forefront of the battle against the totalitarian regime of China," said march organizer Panzer Chan. "Please support us in our fight."
